They're saying 4-6 inches now

[we vs us]

that's what Accuweather says, anyways. Starting after midnight and going into tomorrow evening.

Even if it's sunny and 51 tomorrow, just thinking about a "snow event" makes my inner Chicagoan all tingly.

It may be 1" and it may be 8".  The local weathermen also said that this past weekend was to be full of sun and 65 degrees, and it was mostly cloudy with a high of 50.

What will be will be.  I don't take much stock in anything the local weather forecasters say anymore, beyond the 24-hour chance of precipitation.  It will probably snow for sure, and there is not much anyone can do about that.

Does it ever snow more than the weathermen say? Seems like if they say 4-6 it'll likely be 0-4.

Yes it does. I can remember several years ago Gary Shore said there would be a "light dusting" of snow. My friends and I called channel 2 the next day to thank Gary for the 12 inches of "light dusting, but partly cloudy" we were now shoveling of our driveways.

I'm worried about more man-made weather phenomena.

The local weather people have been saying we will have more snow north of I-44 and less south.

I think we must be damming weather to the north with I-44 which is unfair to both sides and causing unequal distribution.

How about we yank out I-44, and make all transient traffic drive right through the center of town down 51st St.

That way those north of I-44 won't get all the snow trapped on their side and we can share more equally with those living to the south.

They seem to have the same problem with I-40 as well.

When it's over we will have Conan measure it....

Where can I buy sand bags for the back of my truck?  And how much do they cost?

If you can keep them relatively dry, try large bags of the cheapest clay kitty litter you can find.  They are also good to spread for traction if you are in a bind.
